Question 28 of 28
28. Question
A new feature for Instagram, designed to enhance user engagement through personalized content recommendations, is nearing completion. The product team is under immense pressure to launch the feature before the end of the quarter to meet ambitious growth targets. However, the ethical review team has raised concerns about potential algorithmic bias and its impact on diverse user groups, requesting additional time for thorough testing and mitigation. As a product manager, you are responsible for making the final decision. Given Meta’s commitment to responsible innovation and user well-being, what is the most appropriate course of action?
Correct
Meta’s operational model necessitates a high degree of adaptability and a commitment to ethical practices. The hypothetical scenario presented requires a candidate to weigh conflicting priorities (rapid product iteration vs. thorough ethical review) and demonstrate an understanding of Meta’s commitment to responsible innovation. The correct approach involves prioritizing the ethical review, even if it introduces a delay. This reflects Meta’s stated values of building responsibly and prioritizing user safety and well-being. It demonstrates an understanding that long-term trust and sustainability are more valuable than short-term gains from a rushed product launch. A failure to prioritize ethical considerations could result in significant reputational damage, legal repercussions, and erosion of user trust, all of which would have severe consequences for Meta. The candidate must also demonstrate leadership potential by effectively communicating the rationale behind the delay to stakeholders and proposing mitigation strategies to minimize the impact on the launch timeline. This includes suggesting alternative solutions such as parallel processing of ethical reviews or phased rollouts. The candidate’s response should reflect a deep understanding of the potential risks associated with neglecting ethical considerations and a commitment to upholding Meta’s ethical standards.
